Camera says usb connected ALL THE TIME! it wont let me take photos

My camera says 'Connecting to PC' all the time when I turn it on even if it is not connected to PC. I think it has got confused as the last time I used the camera was to take photos off it and it may have run out of charge while connected to the PC. I cannot use the camera as it always has this 'Connecting to PC' message on it.

Hello,
I have a Canon powershot SX100 IS, and everytime i turn it on it beeps and says on the screen "lens error, restart camera".
I have tried tapping it, shaking it a bit. turning on and off. Put in new batteries, taking memory card in and out. Turning it on at different angles. Connecting to the computer. But nothing is working, it wont even let me look at the photos when i press the play button, and that doesnt even require opening the lens!
please help!
thankyou.

MY Sony CyberShot will not connect to the computer. I've connected it succesfully before but now when I try to upload my photos the camera says "USB Mode Connecting...Switch on to [MENU]". I tried all 3 but it still wont connect. Sometimes it says "USB Mode Mass Storage"

Photos delete if i turn the camera off . I turn it on, and it says "26" on the screen, meaning i can take 26 pics. i'll take maybe 4 and turn it off. If i turn it on again, it will read "26" again and sure enough, when i connect it to the pc no pictures are detected. The only time i can upload pics from the camera is if I take the pics and connect it to the pc asap without turning it off.

Hi there. I have an Olympus E-510 that is about 3 years old. It's been working fabulous until just until recently. I connected the camera to my computer and downloaded some photos just like I always do with no problems - disconnecting it as I always do (USB). The next time I went to use the camera, the USB storage screen shows up and I can't get it to go back to the original setting to take photos. I can still download any images from the camera but can't get off that menu. I've tried the reset

I'm not really sure what's going on, but it could also be a hardware problem, or maybe ribbon connector inside the camera from the usb port to the main board, or maybe a bent pin in the usb connector.\015\012Check it out carefully, and remove t ...

"check connections" I just got a Casio Ex-Z77 and am trying to upload my photos for the first time to my PC. I've followed the instruction manual and tried all the tips I've found online (making sure my battery is charged, checking USB ports - all the obvious stuff), but nothing works. As soon as I plug in the USB cord, the screen goes blank. After a couple minutes the screen says "check connections". The ONLY response I'm getting from my camera when it's plugged in is, when the volume on my PC

Blurry photos THe last few times I have attempted to use my camera I have had two problems. One, each time I turn it on it resets itself as if I have never used it and goes back to the language selection and and I have to reset the date (which I stopped doing because of the inconvenience every time I wanted to take a photo, so now all my photos say January 1, 2000). Also, every time I go to take a photo, the picture is blurry. I have tried to reset the quality, but it's not helping and, admitted
